With Ubuntu 10.04, ghostscript 9.01, and auctex-11.86-2ubuntu1 I had the same issue. To resolve I followed this
sudo dpkg -P --force-depends ghostscript sudo apt-get install ghostscript and then compile the latest AUCTeX Version manually using http://theotp1.physik.uni-ulm.de/~ste/comp/emacs/auctex/snapshots/ftp /auctex-current.tar.gz Using the source package from debian sid did not solve this problem. Installing the latest did. Note that you of course need to add this to your .emacs if AUCTeX is not loaded automatically (add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex") (load "auctex.el" nil t t) (load "preview-latex.el" nil t t) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543266 Title: preview latex fails with pdflatex To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gs-gpl/+bug/543266/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
